To the right, a tall, light brown brick building with repetitive fenestration angles into the frame, with several windows on its lower floors showing interior illumination. The lower section of this building prominently displays a partial "Bank" sign. Further into the mid-ground, a succession of lighter-colored, setback buildings with ornate details, possibly limestone or light-toned brick, extend into the distance, culminating in a structure with a distinctive golden cap.
